Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!-Chapter 521 - 564: Past Grievances

"Nan Jinning?" Nan Mingchuan sneered, dismissing, "Don’t even mention that Jinning has no intention of taking over the Nan Family, even if she did, I wouldn’t give it to her! She’s not management material at all! Those years studying in the United States were completely wasted!"

After hearing Nan Mingchuan’s words, even someone as naive as Xue Rong understood his meaning, and immediately said in agony, "In the end, you just want to give everything we’ve worked so hard for to Ye Anxin, don’t you?"

Nan Mingchuan didn’t hesitate at all and replied definitively, "Yes!"

Xue Rong looked at Nan Mingchuan in disappointment and exclaimed, "Why? What kind of spell have that mother and daughter cast on you? After not seeing them for twenty-six years, why did your heart immediately lean towards them as soon as you met? What do they have over us? Haven’t we shared a closer bond for over thirty years of marriage?"

Nan Mingchuan rubbed his aching temples and patiently explained, "This isn’t about bias; it’s a matter of principle! Jianning isn’t my biological daughter; she’s just my late brother’s daughter! There’s always a layer in between! I don’t understand why you can accept Jianning but not Anxin! After all, she shares my blood!"

"In the end, it’s because Ye Anxin is the child of that slut Fang Chuo, which is why you’re so good to her! Don’t forget, initially, you two were just a monetary transaction—once the task was done, it was clear-cut! So what is this now? Real feelings? Let me tell you, the Nan Family isn’t yours alone; it’s also mine! I toiled alongside you to build it! If I hadn’t suffered so much alongside you and ruined my health, would I have miscarried? Would I be unable to have children after that miscarriage? Fang Chuo was just the woman I selected from thousands to bear your offspring! Don’t forget what you promised me! You said you only needed a son, an heir! Once she bore you a son, she could take the money and leave! If it wasn’t for your promise not to do anything to wrong me, would I have agreed to this ridiculous idea? But did you keep your promise? Ever since that slut came along, you stopped coming home at night and spent every day by her side! Initially, I could comfort myself, saying you cared about the child! But... after ten months, she gave birth to a daughter, and yet you still couldn’t forget her, constantly reminding me to take good care of her even while on business trips! Why should I? Who is she to me? She was just a paid surrogate! How could a country girl take my man! What is it about her that’s better than me?" Due to overwhelming heartbreak, Xue Rong vented decades of pent-up emotions in a torrent.

She had endured this issue in her heart for decades—truly enough! If she didn’t speak out now, she’d lose her mind!

Nan Mingchuan raised an eyebrow, asking ambiguously, "So, that’s why you secretly drove the mother and daughter away, forcing them to the brink?"

Xue Rong didn’t shy away, nodding fiercely, her eyes bloodshot, "Yes! I want them never to have peace! To avoid raising Fang Chuo’s suspicions, I deliberately gave her a sum of money in your name to make her leave with the bastard Ye Anxin! To force her to disappear entirely, I even took it to her father! I wanted to push them to the edge, hoping best case they both end up dead in a river! Unexpectedly, she has such strong resilience, survived, and they live harmoniously! My daughter died, and they lived happily instead! They must have taken my precious daughter’s life! My life is so miserable; night after night, I live with the sorrow of losing my daughter. If I’m unhappy, why should she be happy! I absolutely cannot allow Ye Anxin to take everything we worked so hard for in the Nan Family! So... I want to destroy their happiness and save Nan Family from falling into their hands!"

"Sister, I never intended to fight with you for anything! The reason I lived incognito with Anxin was to stay away, far away, from the Nan Family! If I wanted to fight you for it, I could have returned with Anxin to claim our heritage the year Jiansi died! The only reason I didn’t come back was to live a simple life with my daughter!" For some reason, after hearing Xue Rong’s words, Ye’s mother’s fear and hatred for her vanished, replaced only by sympathy and self-reproach.

Ultimately, she was the other woman, the one who disrupted their marital relationship!

As the legitimate wife of Nan Mingchuan, it was only natural that her heart ached, leading to these extreme thoughts!

For Ye’s mother’s goodwill, Xue Rong remained unappreciative, instead lashing out viciously, "Don’t pretend to be innocent! If I’d known, I would have had someone kill you and your daughter and throw you into the ocean days ago! Then you wouldn’t have returned alive!"

"Sister...!" Ye’s mother looked sympathetically at Xue Rong, her eyes reddened, with so much she wanted to say, but nothing came out!

Xue Rong pressed on, "Fang Chuo, let me tell you, the reason I lost today is only because of the softness of my heart 26 years ago and a few days ago and because you have Mu Beiting as a son-in-law! Don’t think you’ve won; let me tell you, in my heart, Xue Rong, you Fang Chuo will never surpass me, not even worthy of carrying my shoes! So what if you and your daughter return to the Nan Family? You will always be bastards who dare not see the light!"

Against her verbal attacks, Ye’s mother wasn’t swayed but instead moved next to Ye Anxin, weakly saying, "Anxin...!"

With just an expression, Ye Anxin immediately understood her mother’s intention, widening her eyes in disbelief, "Mom, you’re not planning to let her go, are you? Don’t forget, she wanted to sell us to Africa! If you let her go this time, she will definitely try again! This time Uncle could save us in time, but next time we might not be so lucky!"

She understood her mother’s kindness!

But in today’s situation, with Fang Chuo’s refusal to repent, if they just let her off, wouldn’t that leave a future threat to themselves?

In the current situation, she didn’t dare to take any risks casually!

Silenced by Ye Anxin’s few words, Ye’s mother bowed her head! Although she wanted to plead for Xue Rong, she genuinely didn’t know what to say!

Anxin was right! If they let her go today, what if she harms them again? What should they do then?
